Thanksgiving just came late to Hangzhou. Friday I had a wonderful video conference party with Anne, Sarah, Katie, Chris, John and Matt in Chi-town, and today Thanksgiving arrived in the form of Ann Wilson who brought with her an amazing cornucopia of AMERICAN FOOD. Mmmmmmm, mac and cheese, gummies, pumpkin bread, cereal, cereal bars, twizzlers, popcorn, basil, velveta cheese, sunkist orange soda, kiwis, cheezits and cheesy goldfish (notice the cheese theme....). I got to spend a lot of time with Si Jie and Bob, my Chinese friends, this weekend too. Now to study and prepare for class. At some point I will tell about Japan....suffice it to say for now, that in true Cammie-travel-fashion, we missed our flight and were shanghaied in shanghai, hunted for monkeys, visited the Buddha, and extended our trip two days!
